Stephanie + MJ : Disney Wedding in Orlando, Florida

February 22, 2020 by Jensey Leave a Comment

They met fall of 2015 at a charity fundraiser for a mutual friend. MJ was photographing the event but couldn’t help but notice Stephanie and her piercing blue eyes, and as the story has it, Stephanie couldn’t help but watch MJ hard at work. <3
When they finally got to spend time together (they lived in different states!), Stephanie and MJ felt like they’d known each other forever. It was love almost instantly, and MJ proposed the following year during a game night at home. MJ worked her proposal into a trivia game- Stephanie was so focused on answering the fake question that MJ had to ask her twice before she realized MJ was proposing!!
Disney is a really big part of their family. Stephanie, her father, and her daughter Kendall used to go to Disney all the time with just the 3 of them. It was beyond special to MJ when she was first invited along, so there was no more special place to have their wedding than Walt Disney World. <3
Stephanie and MJ, we can’t thank you enough for letting us follow along- Enjoy your preview!!

Allison + Justin : Disney Fairy Tale Wedding

November 21, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

It all began with a match on Bumble and led to a Cinderella Castle proposal at Walt Disney World! Justin may have not taken his first trip to Walt Disney World until 2018, but he’s a Disney kid at heart and can even give Allison a run for her money in Disney trivia! Allison and Justin are two of the most fun, fit, and friendly people we’ve ever met and it was an absolute honor to have a small part in their best day ever. :)

Carissa + Travis : Haunted Mansion Themed Disney Wedding

October 18, 2019 by Jensey Leave a Comment

Thank goodness for this Haunted Mansion-themed wedding and all the spoopy Halloween content it’s going to give my Instagram feed the next couple weeks!! <3

Carissa and Travis met at work as EMTs. In fact, until this summer, they were partners for 12 hour shifts on an ambulance. <3

Their friendship grew from a shared love of Disney and it ended up being their first vacation together! Travis even proposed to Carissa on The Haunted Mansion: specifically in the attic, in front of the bride. <3

This wedding was special for so many reasons:

– Haunted Mansion table linens (be still my Magic Kingdom-loving heart!)
– A bride in glasses!
– Our first Epcot dessert party with the new Epcot Forever fireworks!
– A bride in Steamboat Willie slippers!
– A fun meetup with another Disney bride and all of HER wedding vendors who are our pals, too!
– The knowledge that with our EMT couple, I could pass out at any moment and be perfectly taken care of!

I could go on and on, but without further ado, enjoy a peek into Travis and Carissa’s day! :)

Dear Santa- take note of these, please! :)

The inside of Travis’s ring had the coordinates to The Haunted Mansion, where he proposed to Carissa. <3

Operation make Dad cry- check!

 

This. First. Look. <3 I know I always state my love for these, but Travis fighting back tears (unsuccessfully btw) just gives me all the feels. :)

Fellow Disney nerds- how appropriate is that pattern on her parasol?! <3

Carissa made friends with another fellow Disney bride with the same wedding date and venue so we got to have a little meet up! :)

Which meant I got a selfie with my Disney wedding planner bests! <3

Every detail was so thought out. <3

One of my most most favorites. <3

Thank you for stopping by at the most perfect moment, Monorail Green! <3

Carissa and Travis, we can’t wait to share the rest in the coming weeks!! Thank you for letting us be a part of your amazing day!! :)

 

Huge thanks to our vendor team!!
